Theft a problem

The First United Methodist Church Thrift Shop has served the community for many years. It offers clothing and household items at very reasonable prices. It could not exist without the wonderful donations from the community. It is staffed by volunteers who sort these items on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and who work when the shop is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

We have an outside donation box to receive clothing and small items after hours. Many times items are left outside the donation box and are then subject to weather, and, worse, theft. You would not think anyone would steal from a church, but, sadly, it happens.

We are asking the community to please contact us when they have donations that don’t fit in or shouldn’t be left outside the box. We will then arrange a time to receive your donations. You can contact the Thrift Shop at 585-2242, or the church office at 585-7995.
